You can't take these in isolation. We are also very close to the bottom in opponent YPG, PPG and TOP. In fact the ONLY stats where we are at least middle of the pack are sacks and 4th down conversion percentage. And third down percentage is a KEY stat that drives other ones. One reason our YPG and PPG are so bad is our complete inability to get off the field on third down. Ironically we haven't had too many explosive plays on us - the problem is the D can't get off the field and it turns into points.
